Upgrade MOBO/CPU/RAM or GPU?

[aldouxhusley]

My specs: 

– Asus M5A78L-M LX/BR

– AMD FX-6300 (Stock)

– Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850 2GB OC

– 8GB DDR3 RAM

– EVGA 450W 80Plus Bronze

– 500GB HDD Seagate, no SSD

 

As you would imagine, this spec is not keeping up with newer games anymore, so for now I was thinking about upgrading my GPU or the MOBO/CPU/RAM set (have to upgrade one at a time, things are expensive in Brazil), but I don't know which one I should upgrade first to see a better jump in performance.

If possible I would like some recommendations on low or mid-end CPUs and GPU as well.

 

Thank you.

Probably gpu. Can you find second hand rx 480, 570 or 580?

Personally, I'd go this route.

GPU first will give you the most noticeable jump in performance, like boggy said, second hand rx 570 or alike are usually the best value for performance.

 

CPU probably like an r5 1600/2600 plus b450 board

Firstly, get an SSD. They're super cheap nowadays and will offer a super big jump in snappiness and responsiveness, all throughout the OS.

Secondly, I'd say go for a used RX 480/570, as you can generally find them for cheap and are about as good as your CPU can keep up with.
